Morta's Mortuary

This imposing, black-painted building with heavy onyx-colored curtains serves as the home and place of business for Morta Valaskin , an eccentric woman whose daily fashions include elaborate mourning gowns, gauzy black veils, and elbow-length satin gloves. Morta views death as both a business and a lifestyle. Though he flighty mannerisms and morbid outlook toward funerals and the dead might seem macabre, to Morta, death is just a part of life, and a fascinating one at that. Naturally, Morta worships Pharasma, the Lady of Graves, so various images of psychopomps - particularly the birdlike nosoi - decorate the mortuary in the form of paintings, sconces, floor statues, and the like. Morta is also one of most informed gossips about the town, and she knows the secrets of everyone from prominent citizens to ordinary townsfolk. On 12/31/4718 a funeral was held for a man that left items to be there. He gave instructions for the items to be given to Kevill Misting at Reliant Book Company. during the funeral a black cat was there watching the events. At midnight the grave gave a purplish glow during the night.
